The MA at my GD appointment said this helps with her PCOS and RA and I guess a couple of other things. It's a weight loss drug. But in micro dose it doesn't make you lose weight.
I’ve been on compounded Triz for over a year to lose weight. I think I’ve had RA for years but no GP or other doctors I’ve gone to put all my symptoms together to come up with a diagnosis earlier in my life. It was only earlier this year that I went to a rheumatologist because my GP and I thought I had Sjogrens Disease. However, the rheumatologist actually diagnosed me with RA. I can say I’ve had several flares while on it and a bad flare earlier this year. But, I’m sure a flare is a flare and can even happen when on any med, like I’m on Methotrexate and Humira now. Looking back, I’m just not sure I can say one way or the other if it was working for me during the past year. However, if studies show it can help, I’d say that’s another tool in the rheumy’s toolbelt and that’s a positive!
My doctor ordered it, but my insurance wouldn’t cover it, and I could not afford it. I hope you have better luck!
Tirzepatide is definitely generating some buzz in the RA world! It belongs to a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists, and while it's not currently approved to treat RA, researchers are actively studying whether it may help reduce inflammation.

Marcia, if he tries to get it to go through and the insurance won't pay for it , I won't be paying for it either. My GD is on Medicaid so I'm sure they won't pay for it either. I say that, but they paid for my very very high priced ivig infusions. So who knows.
I told asked them, she's 110 soaking wet. She doesn't need to lose anymore weight. They said she wouldn't on the micro dose.
